Default Re: Need some head clearance advice

you can have the heads fly cut, that's a circular cut into the head right over the valves to give them clearance,but you do need to know how much to cut, set head on block with no gasket and turn engine over till head rises as much as it will, stick a feeler gage between the head and block, see what the measurement is, that is the minimum depth the head has to be fly cut
